It is based on the idea of the commons and sharing resources for the benefit of the community. CommonsBooking was developed for the [“Commons Cargobike” movement](http://commons-cargobikes.org/), but it can be used for any kind items. **Unique features:** * Items can be assigned to different locations for the duration of a timeframe, each with their own contact information. You can display all locations via shortcode as an interactive map. * Simple booking process: bookable timeframes can be configured with hourly slots oder daily slots. * Auto-accept bookings: A registered user can book items without the need for administration. * Codes: The plugin automatically generates booking codes, which are used at the station to validate the booking. * Managers can set holidays or repair slots to prevent items from beeing booked. **Use cases:** * Your association owns special tools that are not in use every day, and you want to make them available to a local group. * You own a cargo bike that you want to share with the community, and it will be placed at different locations throughout the year. **Plugin websites** * [Official Website](https://commonsbooking.org) * [Official Documentation](https://commonsbooking.org/documentation) * [Bug-Tracker](https://github.com/wielebenwir/commonsbooking/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3Abug) ## Screenshots * [[ * Booking calendar * [[ * Items list * [[ * Booking confirmation * [[ * User bookings list ## Installation ### Using The WordPress Dashboard 1.

Es läuft seit über einem Jahr problemlos.Vielen Dank für die Tolle Arbeit. Ohne dieses Plugin wäre unser kostenloser Verleich nicht zu realisieren gewesen. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/caa1924f45fd570b6800cfd803452eb67077b9fb24cc8cf6ce62578debff7363? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great plugin (Only booking system that includes a map)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-only-booking-system-that-includes-a-map/)󠁿 [Chris](https://profiles.wordpress.org/datengraben/) May 1, 2023 We manage more than 20 items (mostly bikes) via our website. CommonsBooking does a great job in connecting all of the different user roles via website and email features and so effectivly covers the whole process. Also many optional features can be enabled via admin panel. From the various booking plugins that you can download for free (from the wordpress plugin repo) it is the only one that supports assigning locations your items and with that being able to render a map of all the items. I like that its actively developed and you can contribute easily to the code base. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/548de98498c6940c70584d1681e7c4620fbcbc838d51c9633b67f6299df616cd? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great plugin, awesome support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-awesome-support-222/)󠁿 [lewinontheedge](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lewinontheedge/) January 17, 2023 Powerful plugin that works well both from admin and end-user perspective.

Die Administration ist für unser Team problemlos und intuitiv möglich, erweiterte Funktionalität wie die anpassbaren E-Mail Vorlagen funktionieren auch hervorragend. Wir sind sehr überrascht, was wir damit alles machen können. Auch bei komplizierten Kombinationen aus halbtags und ganztags Buchungen verhält es sich wie erwartet. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/366fd6e8ce75530bb3a8e81c0e0e0b3122f868f3f9810b677bbd185d7875078b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Toller Support, großartigiges Plugin für den Allgemeinnutzen](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/toller-support-grosartigiges-plugin-fur-den-allgemeinnutzen/)󠁿 [oekotyp](https://profiles.wordpress.org/oekotyp/) January 4, 2021 Der Support ist einfach spitze.

I couldn’t find a way to deactivate the codes, though. It would be much more useful if peer to peer sharing would be integrated. Hope it’s on the roadmap. Thanks for your work! Cheers.

After clicking on “continue to booking check” the expected booking page was not loaded. Since this only occurred on some systems and sporadically, it was not possible to determine the cause in the individual cases. However, our analysis showed that it was likely related to a WordPress function for validating user input. We have adjusted this in the current version. ### 2.6.10 (20.02.2022) FIXED: With certain time frame settings it could happen that the calendar was only displayed starting with the next month. This is now fixed. FIXED: The map on the location page always showed a default location. It now shows the correct location. FIXED: In some systems, bookings could not be executed because the booking confirmation page did not load. ### 2.6.9 (18.02.2022) FIXED: When an a href link was included in the site pickup instructions, it caused the booking calendar to not load correctly. ### 2.6.8 (14.02.2022) FIXED: fixed sanitzing issues FIXED: reminder mails have been sent to users even if not activated in options FIXED: error on location detail pages in some cases ### 2.6.7 (13.02.2022) FIXED: fixed minor technical issue that leads to hidden gps refresh button in some environments ### 2.6.5 (13.02.2022) FIXED: fixed issue of missing user data in booking and restriction related emails MODIFIED: Internal refactoring of codebase ### 2.6.4 (10.02.2022) FIXED: fixed issue that produces an error when sending restriction mails in some environments and cases ### 2.6.3 (10.02.2022) FIXED: fixed issue with classic editor and gps button on location editor ### 2.6.2 (10.02.2022) FIXED: fixed minor technical issue ### 2.6.1 (10.02.2022) FIXED: Map geo-coordinates are not updated after saving location without page reload with gutenberg editor. Added button to manually update / set geo coordinates and added some minor map improvements. ### 2.6 (03.02.2022) Notice: Version 2.5 was only a release candidate is skipped as a stable release to to technial reasons #### New * Bookings as a separate menu item, better overview in the backend. The bookings are no longer listed under menu item “time frame” They moved to a new menu item“ Bookings”. * Dashboard: Revision of the dashboard. Now shows today’s pickups and returns. * Reminder emails: Users will receive reminder and feedback emails before and after a booking.* Manage Usage Restrictions: Restrictions can now be managed. These can be notifications of broken or missing parts or the declaration of a total breakdown (e.g. due to a repair). Bookings that are within the affected time frame are automatically cancelled in case of a total breakdown and an info email is sent to users and CB managers. Notices are displayed in the booking calendar and users can be notified about changes. * A map view can now be set for the location page. The setting can be activated via the location editor. * Customizable booking confirmation text on booking page (“Your booking has been confirmed”). Can now be customized in Settings -> Templates. * Maximum advance booking period is now customizable.The period is set to 365 days by default. This setting also applies to all existing time frames. The setting is done via the time frames. The time frame can thus be created for a longer or infinite period. Users can then always only book a maximum of x days in advance, calculated from today. * Thumbnail size in article and location lists now adjustable (Settings -> Templates- > Image formatting). * GBFS API integrated to enable standardized data exchange with other mobility platforms. * Calendar Legend:The booking calendar has now received a legend to explain the colors and settings of the calendar. * For experts: metadata sets (individual attributes / fields can be added to items or categories here).API extended (individual API releases possible). #### Enhanced or changed * The map view no longer shows pickup notes and contact details in the small preview popup, as we want to output these only in the booking process. Also, these options have been removed from the map settings. * In the export function, the custom fields created by CommonsBooking are displayed to be able to add them to the export. * The booking list has been revised. The design has been adjusted accordingly and the booking status has been integrated. * Export function extended with more standard fields (name of the borrower etc.). * In the booking calendar, the time selection in the calendar can now be reset. * Booking codes are now also displayed in the booking list (My bookings). * Pickup notes are now displayed differently in the booking calendar and in the booking confirmation. Attention: Template change. If you change the template manually, please check the adjustments and correct them if necessary. * For cancellations, the cancellation time is saved and displayed in the booking details view at the top of the status message. #### Fixed bugs * Locations in time frame editing are now sorted alphabetically. * On misconfigured servers, there could be an error related to geo-coding that prevented locations from being saved. Switching to a different software library should fix this bug. * Minor adjustments to guarantee compatibility with WordPress 5.9 and PHP 8. ### 2.4.5 (10.05.2021) * NEW: Restrict bookings to user groups. It is now possible to restrict bookable timeframes to one or more user groups to restrict bookings based on these timeframes. * FIXED: In case of consecutive time frames, it could happen that not all time frames were displayed in the calendar. This is now fixed. (#612) * FIXED: In a some combination of time frames it could happen that an already existing booking could be overwritten (in case of slotwise booking). (#610) * FIXED: Some parts in the calendar were not translated to English when the website language was set to English. (#545) * FIXED: API was available by default – this is standard behaviour of the wordpress integrated API too. Now the CommonsBooking API is deactived by default an can be activated in CommonsBooking options. We also removed the Owner information from items that has been available via the API (first and last name) * FIXED: In the email template tags, the tag following the pattern {{xxx:yyy}} could not be used within an a href link as it is not allowed by WordPress security methods. We have now added the alternative divider #. This now also works in a href links. Example a href=”{{xxxx#yyyy}}” * FIXED: New booking codes could not be generated in some cases. ### 2.4.4 (26.04.2021) * NEW: Added category filter in items and locations shortcode. You can use [cb_items category_slug=category_slug] to show items by a single category. * NEW: Added the p attribute to cb_items shortcode, so you can display a single item by using [cb_items p=POSTID] * CHANGED: Item and location list in select dropdown in timeframe editor is not restricted to published elements anymore. * ENHANCED: template improvements: not available notice now in separate line in item/location lists * ENHANCED: pickupinstructions now inclueded in the location section on the booking page (changed template: booking-single.php) * ENHANCED: inlcuded pickupinstructions in the following templates: location-calendar- header.php / location-single-meta.php * ENHANCED: Changed the standard image thumbnail size in listings * FIXED: If multiple timeframes are set the calendar only showed the last timeframe in booking calendar. * FIXED: Fixed some issues with map category filter * FIXED: fixed interaction issues with calender when using timeslots. pickup field resets when selecting pickup time (fixed issues #629 and #619) ### 2.4.3 (09.04.2021) * NEW: Eport-Tool for exporting timeframes (Bookings etc.) with flexible data fields. Useful for external analytics or to create connections to external systems like automatic lockers etc. * NEW: Booking comment: Users can add an internal comment to a booking that can be viewed by location administrators and can be used in email template via template tags (see template tags in documentation) * NEW: Maximum bookable days are now without limitation. You can choose the maximum days in the timeframe editor. * NEW: We added 2 new menu items in the CommonsBooking section so that you can now the edit Commonsbooking categories for locations and items (rename, remove etc.) * NEW: Hide Contact Details: It is now possible to configure whether contact details of the station are only displayed after the booking has been confirmed by the user. This prevents users from already receiving booking details for an unconfirmed booking and thus possibly already contacting the location without having completed the booking. * ENHANCED: Added migration of elementor special fields * ENHANCED: Added map link to dashboard * ENHANCED: Validation of bookings optimized * FIXED: Bookable timeframe without enddate caused some issues in frontend calendar. Now it is possible to leave end date empty to allow infinite booking timeframe * FIXED: performance issue on some systems in backend view (issue #546) * FIXED: cancelation of an unconfirmed booking triggered a cancelation mail to user and location. Now the cancelation mail will not be send anymore. (issue # 532) * FIXED: fixed a timeframe validation error (isse #548) * FIXED: calendar not shown in edge / explorer in some versions.
